ST., father of the defendant, testified to
the same facts, and defendants sister
and brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.
COzZens. testified substantially the
same. Several other witnesses were
called. but the stories told agreed in all
essential points. The incident of inter
est to-day was the testimony OF
FRED MITNCHRATH, JR,
the defendant on trial. In substance
his answers to questions were as follows:

else [ attended no private meeting there
and had no conference about whipping
Wood and Walker. Munchrath here de-
MED all the statements which Leavitt had
testified were made at the meeting at Holden
reid's. Witness continuing, said: ON the
3rd of August 1 went with Leavitt to the
railroad yards to collect board bill of MORT
arity. Leavitt and Moriarity talked few
minutes by themselves, but could not hear
what they said. l said nothing to Moriarlty
about saloon matters. was not at the cor
ner of Fourth and Water streets when Had
dock was killed Have heard Murphy SITES
timony, and it is true that l stopped his
hack / knew that parties were y
OUT IN A HACK
to see what Haddock was doing and stopped
the hack out of curiosity. Did not know
that anybody intended to do Haddock any
injury that night, and did not know where
the parties went with the hack. Don't re
member just the time l was in Junk's
saloon, but did not go with the crowd that
went west from Junk's to the place of. the
murder. 1 went east to fathers place
utes and father and 1 went to
my place at the fremont house. 1t was ten
or fifteen minutes after this that 1 learned OF
the killing; when two boarders who had
been at the academy of music come in and
said somebody had been killed, and shortly
after heard Haddock was killed. On cross
examination witness told with minuteness
as to his whereabouts on the fatal night, and
in answer to the question, where
thirty saloon men that night, u
said, 81 didn't see that many" 81 did not
see a great many people about Junk's, and l
think it was there that heard some one say
that Haddock had gone out, but don't know
who said it. Some one said party had gone
in hack to watch Haddock, but don't
know who said it.
I VISITED SEVERAL SALOONS
during the evening, and it was about 1920
when l stopped Murphy's hack did not
swear before the coroner's jury that l went
home at 9:39 When I left Junk's, Leader
Grady, Scotland, Leayitt and Treiber were
there did not know Henry Peters. About
four minutes after 1 went into Junk's, Arens-
dorf and others came in. Did not
go west of Fourth street at all
after leaving Junks but went directly home,
as it was raining. 1 knew Haddock by sight
only, having seen him at the court roon1 two
or three times previous to the murder. l was
not defendant in q saloon case.
The cross examination was exhaustive
and there is much repetition in it, but
no new facts were elected. When court
adjourned it was announced that proba-
bly, Munchrath would be recalled for a
short time tomorrow.
